"But first we must erase everything related to bin Laden from our country," he added.

US and European officials will be invited to the demolition, which will take place next month.

A military spokesman promised it would be a 'big event'.

Following the raid on the hideout -- which was watched by US President Barack Obama live on TV -- Bin Laden was buried at sea.

But it led to increasing tensions between Pakistan and the US with Pakistan particularly stung by claims that it turned a blind eye to the hideout.

However, reports later surfaced that the Pakistani military was not planning to demolish the compound where Osama bin Laden was killed by special US forces last year.

A military spokesman said remarks regarding the demolition of bin Laden's compound were 'totally baseless'.

US drone kills 4 militants in PakistanAn American drone strike killed four Islamist militants in Pakistan, the first such attack since errant U.S airstrikes in November killed two dozen Pakistan troops and pushed strained ties between the two nations close to collapse, Pakistani intelligence officials said. The attack on Tuesday took place in North Waziristan, an al-Qaeda and Taliban stronghold. Three of the dead were Arab fighters, said the officials.
